The running costs are too expensive  

Liverpool is the most expensive city in the UK when it comes to the running costs of a car. On average, drivers in Liverpool are spending just over £4000 a year just to keep their cars running. It’s not just petrol prices and road tax. Insurance premiums for the Liverpool area are more than double the average paid in the rest of the country. So, when you add in petrol costs, parking fees, toll roads, and insurance, Liverpool is the single most expensive city in the UK to own a car. With average insurance costs of £2,072 per year and spends of just under £1000 a year on petrol, it’s no wonder that high running costs are the number one reason why Liverpudlians search “scrap my car Liverpool” online. If you’re tired of paying more than the rest of the country for your transport needs, scrapping your car is the quick and easy solution.

The car has high fuel consumption  

Petrol prices can change quickly, and it can be very difficult to know just how much you should plan to spend in an average year. While Liverpool petrol prices are similar to the rest of the country, it’s easy to find petrol stations that are charging well over the national average. If you’re spending £1000 a year on petrol, but you’re not travelling very far, then you know that it’s time to start rethinking how necessary your car really is. Of course, competition from supermarkets is helping to keep petrol prices down, but for drivers who resent paying over the odds for petrol, deciding to get cash for scrap cars in Liverpool is one of the best ways to not only stop paying those high prices, but get some extra cash into your bank account too. If you’re upgrading to a more fuel-efficient vehicle, then it’s good to know that car scrap merchants in Liverpool can get you the best prices and the ultimate convenience.

You find public transport preferable

The public transport system in Liverpool is renowned for its excellence. With day tickets that let you use all forms of public transport to get anywhere in Merseyside, it’s not a surprise that more drivers than ever are deciding to scrap their car in Liverpool and use the well-run buses, trains, and the famous ferry. With easy accessibility to anywhere in the Liverpool City region, as well as the frequent train and tube departures from the 68 stations that are in place all around the city area, driving suddenly doesn’t seem so important. Some drivers are going even further than that, and making use of the easy cycling options available in the city and the bicycle parking spots that can be found everywhere. The public transport system in Liverpool is green, efficient, reliable, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Parking a car is much more difficult, so it’s no real shock that Liverpool drivers are looking for ways to avoid the stress of owning a car in Liverpool and instead relying on fantastic public transport.

The car has failed its MOT

When it comes to passing an MOT, cars in Liverpool have a much higher failure rate than anywhere else in Britain. As many as 23% of all cars in Liverpool that go for their MOT will fail it, and that means expensive repairs and more MOT inspections. By far, the most common reason for failing an MOT test in Liverpool is ‘issues with lighting,’ but it’s not just specific issues that are the reason behind the high MOT-fail rate. Older cars are always going to be more likely to fail an MOT, and the high number of old cars being driven in Liverpool means it’s not a surprise to find that Liverpool is the city with the lowest MOT pass rate in the UK. If your car has failed its MOT, don’t start panicking. You might have been told that you can’t sell a car without an MOT, but that’s a common misconception. We make it easy to sell a car without an MOT in Liverpool.

You could use the money for other things

A financial emergency can occur at any moment, and that’s not good news for those that live in the Liverpool area. It’s common knowledge that a high number of Liverpool residents avoid using banks or the more mainstream credit providers. That means a cash emergency can leave you exposed to long-term problems because taking out a bank loan to cover the cash crisis is not an option. That distrust of banks is largely due to the region having some of the worst postcodes in the country when it comes to credit rating. That can make it very challenging to get access to the money that you need when you need it. If the worst does happen, you can always get yourself out of financial difficulties by getting rid of the car that you can’t afford to drive and choose instead to get cash for scrap cars in Liverpool. Quick payments mean that your car can be collected, and you can be paid quickly so that you give yourself some financial breathing room.

Your car’s no longer safe to drive      

Driving in Liverpool is dangerous simply because the city is ranked third in the country when it comes to the number of dangerous cars on the road. Every year there are more than 620 prosecutions for driving an unsafe vehicle, with the A57 officially the most dangerous road in the whole of Merseyside. If you’re caught driving a dangerous car, then you are putting other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at risk, and you will not be allowed to drive that car again until you have made the appropriate repairs. All cars degrade over time, and it’s inevitable that there comes a point where they shouldn’t be driven. If your car is proving to be too dangerous to take on the road, avoid those potential fines of up to £2,500 (and the following repair costs) and look at how to sell my car in Liverpool instead. The money that you get for your scrap car could make it easier to pay for a safer vehicle!

Your car is costing you a fortune to maintain

It might be one of the most culturally rich cities in the UK, but that doesn’t mean that it’s cheap to live in. One of the costs of owning a car is always going to be the maintenance of it, and that’s an ongoing expense that you can’t avoid. If your car tends to be in the hands of a mechanic more than being used on the roads, then your maintenance costs are going to be frustrating, to say the least. If you’ve had one garage bill too many, it’s definitely time to start looking at scrap metal Liverpool prices and getting a quote from us about the current value of your old car. With convenience a priority, we can make sure that you never spend another penny on your old vehicle, and instead get a cash boost that you can use to buy a newer car that doesn’t break down as often.

Your car is very fuel inefficient    

Petrol is expensive and harmful to the environment too. Liverpool is cracking down on fuel-inefficiency, and have committed to making it easier to run an electric or hybrid vehicle by installing a huge number of charging points in and around the city. The goal is to improve the air quality of Liverpool, and you can do your part (and save yourself a lot of money on petrol), by scrapping your car and using the money that you get to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient (or electric) car. If you’re spending more on your fuel than ever before and that price increases every time you head to the pump, then it’s time to start looking at your options. Never keep spending money on a car that just guzzles more petrol or diesel than it should. Have your car collected from your home address and think about how you’re going to best use the cash that you get for it.

Your car is written off  

Scrapping a car when it’s a write off is sometimes the only option you have. The problem is that many drivers in Liverpool think that you can’t sell a car that’s incapable of being driven. If you think “I can’t sell my car in Liverpool if it’s a write-off,” you’ll be pleased to know that we pay for cars that have been involved in accidents too. Liverpool is a very busy city with a lot of cars on the roads, so it’s inevitable that there are going to be accidents. If you’ve been involved in a collision that’s affected your vehicle so much that it can’t be driven anymore, the important thing is not to panic. Drivers in Liverpool can quickly and easily find out how much their scrap car is worth, arrange a collection from anywhere, and get some cash for the car that you no longer use. That’s particularly good news for those that need to use Queens Drive or live in the L13 postcode, where the highest number of road accidents in Liverpool happen.

You’re looking for a part-exchange  

Most drivers in Liverpool part-exchange their older cars so that they can afford to buy something better and more efficient. That means you need to get the price possible for the car you no longer want. That’s why it’s so common that old or damaged cars in Liverpool are sold for scrap. When you sell a car to a scrap yard in our network, you’re going to get real money for a car that you might otherwise get nothing for. No matter how badly it failed its MOT or how much damage it suffered as a result of an accident, you might be surprised by just how much you can get. When it comes to part-exchanging a vehicle, it’s always beneficial to get as much cash as possible for the car you no longer want, so that you have more bargaining power on the price of your upgrade.
